Danish editing client publishes novelette

A recent editing client, Danish author Victoria Ichizli-Bartels, has published her latest, the novelette “Seven Broken Pieces.” The book tells the tale of young and resolute Sasha Leroy Palmer, who still suffering from her sister’s death in Vietnam, decided in the 1960s to fight the enemy on the other side of the Iron Curtain from within by becoming a spy.

She convinces herself that her sister’s death was the only reason she came to help her home country. So why does every letter from home, secretly passed to her by colleagues in the cause, make her feel that this wasn’t the reason? Was she really running away from her responsibilities, as her parents insisted? And if she was, what could make her stop running? Surely not the man who caught her as she stumbled on a shaky trolley-bus in the capital of Soviet Moldova. Or could he?

“Seven Broken Pieces: A Short Story (A Life Upside Down)” is available online as a paperback or ebook.
